The Hanging of a Mouse

Saturday 20th September

Saturday 20th September

19.00-21.30 with half hour interval

Running time: approx 70 minutes without interval

Step into the flickering firelight of the Chieftain Roundhouse for a spellbinding evening of myth, music, and magic, as celebrated storyteller Hugh Lupton brings the ancient Welsh tales of the Mabinogion vividly to life.

Drawn from the First and Third Branches of these legendary medieval stories, Hugh’s performance unravels a haunting and beautiful journey through love, violence, enchantment, and revenge—a world where badgers are carried in bags, the veil between realms is thin, and even a mouse may face the gallows.

With over four decades of experience, Hugh is one of the UK’s most revered storytellers. His performances are rich with rhythm and poetry, echoing the deep magic of the land and its oldest stories.

“Hugh Lupton is a teller of great intensity and subtle power.” Sing Out Magazine. U.S.

Come early to explore the woodland and enjoy a glass of mead or herbal tea before the performance or during the interval at the Woodland Bistro.

This is storytelling as it was meant to be heard—live, immersive, and unforgettable.
